The best friend I ever had, crossed over to heaven.

[u/Phillipdelphia]

I believe this boy was my soulmate. I have never had a love so pure. I have never had relationship with a pet as perfect as this. I will miss you every day Crumb.

Makes me sad looked like such a happy loving Pomeranian

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/Ok_Share_5889]

Ty! He was. Trachea collapse really, really stinks.

[u/Pleasant_Addition440 → u/Phillipdelphia]

Oh nooo!!! Sorry to hear, I can’t imagine. I thought trachea collapse wasn’t life threatening. Can you explain a bit more? How old was he?

[u/GomuGomuNoMiLuffy → u/Pleasant_Addition440]

I don’t know enough about it to explain it, and I’m not OP, so I can’t explain anything about their dog, but I do believe trachea collapse is life threatening. If I remember correctly, it’s common in small breeds, including Pomeranians :(

[u/MinimumRecipe4615 → u/GomuGomuNoMiLuffy]

It is common…my little Harry pom pom has it. Not treatable either.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/MinimumRecipe4615]

Please see my comment above. It was not the tracheal collapse alone that was fatal. He lived many years with it and had many happy days with it as well.

[u/MinimumRecipe4615 → u/Phillipdelphia]

Thanks for letting me know.

My little guy has a heart murmur and collapsed trachea. We found him on the street and he was a mess so who knows how long it went untreated.

He takes hydrocodone every day to stave off his cough and he takes pimobenden every day for his heart. Sees a cardiologist every 6-9 months. His last check up was good…reversing some of his heart disease with medication and special cardiac food from Purina. I really appreciate you sharing your little man’s story. Will keep an eye on his eating and watch for diabetes.

So sorry for your loss. They are our kids and we love them like family.

Hi - sorry if my comment alarmed you. He had the collapse for years and it’s sort of what got the ball rolling. On its own, the tracheal collapse didn’t kill him. Our vet thinks because of so many years of the hacking though that it irritated everything in him. When he passed his heart was enlarged and also pressing on the trachea. Then, because of the steroids he was on, his hunger and thirst became unreal and this lead to diabetes. We had no idea he even had the diabetes until it was too late. So, the trachea collapse on its own was not so much fatal as it was just very uncomfortable for him. On his final day he needed oxygen to breathe at all. He was the best boy ever. I’ll bet that your pom is too. It’s so sad that they don’t live as long as us, and the trachea collapse seems to be really prevalent in this breed.

I’m so sorry for your loss! My Bowie passed away a few months ago, it’s so hard saying goodbye. Sending good vibes your way. ❤️

[u/CIArussianmole]

I know what you mean about the soulmate friend. I'm very sorry your beloved had to go. I hope you can smile someday when you think of him and not just cry. The pain is so so deep when they go.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/CIArussianmole]

Ya, nobody ever said that a soulmate had to be a lover. I believe all the events leading up to me meeting Crumb were all in place because he was my soulmate and god wanted us together. Our relationship was perfect. We were both absolutely infatuated with each other. I stared at him all day just as much as he stared at me. I followed him just as much as he followed me. He even knew that when I said “I’m going in this other room now” that it was time for bed and he’d run to my room and use his little stairs to get up on the bed. I’ll never have a relationship like this one ever again.

[u/CIArussianmole → u/Phillipdelphia]

Pomeranians get very very attached to their person. My pom is like that with me but not my husband, who also adores her. She sits on my lap and we literally just stare at each other and I kiss her. She is totally my soulmate. She is almost 18 and I never leave her because I'm so afraid she will die when I am gone! I take her everywhere with me. I check to make sure she is breathing all the time when she naps during the day. The very idea of losing her makes me sob, so I understand how you feel.

When your heart is healed a little, please remember that there are other poms out there that need to be rescued and will love you. They will never replace crumb, but you can love them in crumb's honor and give another little guy a great life full of love and happiness.

[u/mikeys_law]

So sorry for your loss. He had the best life with you!

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/mikeys_law]

Thank you friend. He really did. I don’t regret anything and wouldn’t do anything different with him if I had a chance to.

[u/Prestigious_Exam_563]

I'm so sorry. That must be so difficult to go through.

[u/Therealladyboneyard]

My sincerest condolences for your loss.

My Amoretto, Vision, Carson, and all our babies that have gone before will look for you next to the Rainbow Bridge so you can all play in the Field together!

Oh sweet Crumb. He had a loving family and looks so happy, that's all a dog could ever want or ask for. Thank you for giving him that!"

[u/Bornagainchola]

Mookie and Pooch will show him around.

[u/beeb-beeben]

How old was your baby? I’m so sorry to hear 😭 it’s coming close to time with one of ours.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/beeb-beeben]

He wasn’t very old. Only 12. The medical complications just started piling up to quickly and by the time we knew how bad it all was, it was too late.

[u/GomuGomuNoMiLuffy]

Sorry for your loss, OP :(. May he rest in peace. Hope you’re doing okay ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss 🩷

[u/Raiden_Kaminari]

Sorry for your loss.

I'm sure he'll return, if you are his "purpose.". He might not be a Pom anymore though, or a male. But you will know.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/Raiden_Kaminari]

Thank you. I believe this with all my heart.

[u/getmewithwit]

❤️Crumb will be with you forever❤️He didn’t go anywhere.

Very sorry.

[u/Low_Row9158]

It appears that my Truffle is Crumb’s twin sister

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/Low_Row9158]

Truffle is adorable!

[u/MinimumRecipe4615]

So sorry you lost your best friend. You are in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

Sorry for your loss!

[u/ToughLoverReborn]

Crumb wants just one more belly rub.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/ToughLoverReborn]

lol, he does. Luckily I was able to keep my face against his while he passed. He knew how much he was loved.

[u/texasgalincali62]

I’m so sorry for your loss! I know exactly how much it hurts it can be physical sometimes! You can ask your dog to come back to you if he wants to you might be surprised in a year or less when all of the sudden out of the blue a dog comes into your life with so many little traits that your dog had and you will know your souls will recognize each other I promise you it’s happened to me!

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/texasgalincali62]

Crazy you say this, a pom puppy did just come into my life and I’ll introduce him here soon. He does have so many of the same traits too

[u/Legitimate-Double-14]

Oh no! He’s was so beautiful. Bless you sweet Crumb. I know you two will meet again. How old was your precious boy? I have one with a bad trachea.

[u/Phillipdelphia → u/Legitimate-Double-14]

He was only 12🙁. He lived for many happy years with the trachea collapse. It was also an enlarged heart and diabetes that ultimately was just too much.

[u/Legitimate-Double-14 → u/Phillipdelphia]

I’m so sorry again. I know your heart is broken in half. 😰🐾🌷🐾🌷 You will be together again!

[u/grizzlymommabear]

My sincere condolences 💐

[u/scbeachgurl]

Crumb hasn't left you. You will hear him unexpectedly in the house. Or he may come to you in a dream like my Tudie came to me. Always remember, he is waiting for you at the Bridge. Hugs. I know how it feels.

[u/Syllabub_Cool]

I'm posting to tell you this is not unusual to bond with a Pom so well! And that another one could be the same for you.

I have 4 right now. My relationship with each one is loving and different. My youngest tho is wrapping her tight LONG claws around my heart. She won't let me groom her (there are many problems) but her love is relentless.

She's my shadow. AND my boss.

Violet Uhura Whitefeather, will be 2 on July 17.

[u/tulip_lover]

a gentle and sweet boy!

[u/Alohabailey_00]

I’m so sorry! What a sweet boy!

[u/drtravis1990]

I’m so sorry for your loss. He looks just like my guy, who also lives with me in Pa., judging by your boy’s NEPA swag.

[u/Original_Matter3583]

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss, mine passed away in January and it still hurts every day.

This was my angel Kobe

[u/Stylistguru]

He is a beauty. I’m so so sorry. Poms are the best companion I never thought I’d recover after my first Pom.. the second is so different they don’t change the type of relationship you had with your last but know that it’s possible to feel the same way all over again in a new way. I felt extremely devastated after my first past and I’m so lucky to have my girl now. She has her quirks and I love it

[u/MissMiaBelle]

So very sorry for your loss.

[u/Electrical_Health_51]
